History

FC Indiana is widely regarded as one of the premier women's soccer clubs in the world. In 2005, F.C. Indiana became the second North American women's team ever to win league and cup double, by winning the WPSL national championship and the USASA US Open Cup national championship. (The Carolina Courage of now-defunct Women's United Soccer Association [WUSA] won the Founder's Cup and WUSA League Title in 2002.)
